Exterior Residential Painting

Residential Exterior Painting by Maine Painting Contractor, Jim Steeves Painting, Inc.


When you're searching for a premier exterior residential painting company in York and Cumberland County, the choice comes down to experience, craftsmanship, and a team that communicates clearly from the first estimate to the final walkthrough. Jim Steeves Painting, Inc. has built its reputation on exactly these qualities, earning the trust of homeowners throughout the greater Portland area and along Maine's southern coast.



A Trusted Name in Maine's Finest Communities

Our portfolio includes some of the most distinguished homes in Cape Elizabeth, Falmouth, Cumberland, Yarmouth, Portland's historic West End, Kennebunkport, Wells, Ogunquit, and York. These communities are home to architecturally significant properties — from classic New England capes to grand coastal estates — and each one demands a painting contractor who understands the unique challenges of Maine's climate and the importance of preserving a home's character. We've earned repeat business and referrals because we treat every property, large or small, with the same level of care and precision.


Quality Materials, Proven Technique

Maine's weather is unforgiving on exterior surfaces. Salt air, humidity, freeze-thaw cycles, and intense seasonal sun all take a toll on siding, trim, and architectural details. That's why we use only premium-grade paints and coatings designed to withstand these conditions, paired with application techniques refined over years of hands-on experience. The result is a finish that doesn't just look beautiful on day one, but continues to perform and protect for years to come.


Meticulous Preparation Makes the Difference

The quality of an exterior paint job is determined long before the first coat goes on. Our team takes a thorough, methodical approach to surface preparation — scraping, sanding, priming, and repairing wood, trim, and siding as needed to create a clean, stable foundation. This attention to detail ensures uniform coverage, superior paint adhesion, and a finish that resists peeling, cracking, and fading. We don't cut corners on prep work, because we know it's the foundation of a job that lasts.


Protecting What Matters

A professional paint job should enhance your home, not put the rest of your property at risk. We take great care to protect landscaping, walkways, windows, decks, and other surfaces throughout the painting process. Drop cloths, masking, and careful daily cleanup are standard practice on every job site, so you can expect a polished result and a tidy property from start to finish.
